Early Monday morning, reports poured in from the success of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Over the weekend, theater goers rushed to see the latest film installment in the franchise. As stated by The Hollywood Reporter, Force Awakens ticket sales broke records.

Currently, J.J. Abram’s latest project has reeled in $528M-plus globally.

The previous record holder was that of Jurassic World coming in at $208.8 million.
